Marvellous Dolls.

"What is the price of that doll?"
1.-TWO hundred and fifty dollars"
"Two hundred and fifty dollars %
eyes, sir. That doll is four feet
tall. 1t was made by Juneau. That
costume was designed and made by
Worth, OF Paris; that hat cost $40.
The doll is jointed. 1t will sit down,
stand up, slumber, strike a pensive
attitude, and If you place it in your
parlor at the window passers-by will
pronounce it a very charming young
lady. Here is the big dolls sister !;
three feet tall; costumes by Worth ;
price $3.50.
"This doll appears to be enjoying a
surfeit of sweets"
"This is the doll that eats candy.
1t was made in France, is jointed,
natural eyelashes, and is fashionably
costumed. You put the candy in her
mouth thus; see? Now, she will eat
these lemon drops; see? Unsuitable
appetite for confectionery; but when
you tire of feeding her remove the
sole Of her tiny slipper thus, and here
you have the candy ready for another
journey. For that doll we get $ll."

Hints on Moving.

Don't put the stove lids into the
same basket with the china ware.
Remember this. Contact with the
cups and saucers viii rub the backing
of.
On moving into a new house do not
forget to feel around on the top of the
cellar wall. You may find something.
Sometimes it is empty and.sometimes
there is drop or two left.
The family cat should be moved
first in load by herself. The men
are fresh and strong and active then.
They can move the piano when they
are tired, but not the cat.
May is the month of smiles and
tears, posies and nosegays. Accord
ing to hard facts, however, it is the
month in which both ends of every
length Of stove-pipe are exactly alike
as to diameter.

Sailing Meat

Cast rn'a Patran'
Many of the ranchers who put up
their own bacon last season met with
a loss by the hams and sides swelling
up and spelling while down in the
salt. BY some theloss was attributed
to the salt used, they claiming ii was
poor quality and in many places
badly adulterated; Others laid it to
the warm season and the absence Of
heavy frost at the time of killing
This season several are sailing their
meat while warm, within an hour or
two after killing, instead of letting
the hog hang until next morning be-
fore cutting it up. The principal
AFFECTION urged to cutting up the ami
NAL while warm is that they trim up
rough and do not present salable
appearance in the market. All say
that the meat takes salt better while
warm and is less liable to spoil after
ward.

Evil Of Endorsing.

~ AFFIRM" says Judge Waldo
Brown, in the Boston Traveller, "that
the system of indorsing is all wrong,
and should be utterly abolished. l
believe that it has been the financial
ruin of more men than, perhaps, all
other causes. I think that our young
men especially, should study the
matter carefully in all its bearings,
and adopt some settled policy to
govern their conduct, so as to be
ready to answer the man who asks
them to sign his note. What respon-
sibility does one assume when he in
dorses note? Simply this; He is
held for the payment Of the amount
in full, principal and interest, il the
maker of the note, through mis-
fortune, acknowledgement, or rascality,
fails to pay it. Notice, the indorser
assumes all this responsibility, with
no voice in the management of the
business and no share in the profits Of
the transaction, if it prove profitable;
but with a certainty of loss If, for any
ofthe reasons stated, the principal fails
to pay the note.

faction, to get satisfaction, STRIP
Certainly, my friend" responded
the genial editor in his most soothing
tones. 81 shall be most happy to ac-
comodate you. Charlie" turning to
the Office boy, "what has been done
with that fellow who called day be
fore yesterday to satisfaction ?"
ellis widder took the remains home
yesterday"
"And the one that called yester-
day?
81 swept all could find out into
the hall and they planted it today in
the new cemetery"
"And the one that called this fore.
noon?"
"They're holdin' an inquest on il

"Just so; and you say you want
satisfaction, sir?"
"Why-yes-that isl felt little
dissatisfied with myself because 10

Why She Pointed.

A school teacher from tout west"
tells the following laughable little
incident: "On Christmas day was
invited to dinner at the home of
farmer in the neighborhood. He had
large family of children, and / was
not the only guest, several families
in the neighborbood having been in
vited.
"Just before we went out to dinner
q ten-year-old member of the family,
favorite pupil of mine, came into
the room and began silently counting
the guests, pointing her finger at
each person as she counted.
"As she stood near me l thought to
give her little lesson in etiquette,
and whispered:
Don't point, Milly 1t is not po-
lite"
ITO my amusement and the cha
grin Of her mother, she instantly re-
piled:
swell, Iguess ma told me to, cause
she's afraid there amt mince pie
enough to go round, and she hopes
nobody won't take two pieces.

The Unmarried Daughter.

Kpe Mason Post
1t is possible that even mothers are
little too selfish and eXacting toward
their unmarried daughters Of "un-
certain age" 1t would be decided
convenience to the musician of the
family if the piano could be moved to
another part of the room. Shespeaks
to her mother about it. The reply is:
II see no reason, Emily, why it
should be moved; it has always been
there. When you have house of
your own you can have the piano just
where you choose"
How many mothers finish their
sentence in this way. 1t is possible
that remarks of this kind may have
something to do with the numerous
ill-assorted marriages we daily hear
OFF The innate longing Of our woman
nature to have something to call our
own, to do with as we like, must be
gratifled, and crafty it we will in one
way or another or die in the attempt.
Could not mother without loss of
dignity divide her dominion, giving
each daughter province of her own?
Even a room in which she can do ex-
actly as she pleases and exercise her
individual taste will do much toward
making her happy, and the daughters
must be made happy as well as the
sons.
We hear and read much on the
subject of making home pleasant for
the boys but few words are|ever said
about making home pleasant for the
girls. There is species of injustice
about this which those who have not
observed girls and their ways closely
may not have seen. They, too, have
temptations and many little trials
and difficulties to overcome, and of
them it is required that they shall be
always cheerful and amiable.

The Grow as an Arboriculturist.

There has been much speculation in
regard to the rotation Of forest growth
for instance how an oak will spring
up on the spot where pine has stood.
Mr.. John T. Campbell, in a paper
contributed to the American Natura-
list, gives some observations of his
own on the agency Of birds and ami
mails in the result. AS an arbOricul-
turist he gives the palm to the crow.
He says he has seen them gather by
hundreds at one of their conventions,
and as they start to fly away they
will drop something that they have
brought with them from a distance.
He has found these to be walnuts,
hickory-nuts, buckeyes, sycamore
balls, acorns, etc.
Any one who has ever watched 9
flock of crows will have noticed thai
they always pick up something when
they leave. Thus if they have been
sitting on an oak, they will take ar
acorn, carry it five or ten miles
alight perhaps on q beech tree, where
their attention becoming distracted
they will drop the acorn; and wher
they again fly away, will be likely tt
pluck pod Of beech nut.

Preternatural Laziness.

Some prospectors in West Virginia
found signs of natural gas on a farm
belonging to an old man, and they
went to his house and asked permits
sion to bore and try further develop
ments.
"What's the gas good for?" he ask
ed.
ITO take the place of fuel"
"Will it take the place Of wood?"
"Oh, yes!"
"Then you can't bore darn bore
around here. I've got FIVE slapping
big sons who are too Internal lazy to
do anything more'n cut wood enough
to warm their shins; and if we had
natural gas to burn, I'd have to hire
q niger to help the boys draw theil
breath"
